vile, were guests at the home of Mr..

On Wednesday night a donation was
given at Pigeon church for the benefit

We trust they were large.
A quarterly meeting will be held at the
Boice Greek church next Saturday and
Sunday. The presiding elder A. j.
Hood will be present. The meeting is
in charge of Rev. E. Cosper.
Mrs. Lou Lester, of Boscobel, has
been in the city on business during the
week. Mrs. Lester being herself in the
grind of the editorial mill, never fails to
look in to the HERALD sanctum
Next Tuesday evening, March LIST,
there will be sociable at the Pleasant
Ridge church for the benefit of the Rev.
E. Cosper. All are cordially invited.
Oysters and numerous other tempting
viands will be served.
Mr.. Thomas Pendleton, of Little
Grant, was welcome visitor in the
HERALD Office on Wednesday. A sight
of Mr.. Pendleton's CHEEKY face alone is
enough to raise the country EDITORS
dropping spirits, without the renewed
subscription that he handed us.
The sale of Nicholas Wissbaum's farm,
stock, etc., came off as advertised in our
columns. The results of the sale were
most satisfactory. Mr.. Wissbaum and
his family left on Tuesday for Sherman,
Kansas, where he has bought farm and
intends settling permanently.
On Sunday night Otto Schaal, of
Burton had his ankle broken while on
his way home from one of the revival
meetings in that place. He was hang
ing on sleigh and unfortunately lost
his balance and fell off. The sleigh
passed over his ankle, breaking it bad
ly.
Miss Jessie Meyer returned after long
absence, on Monday evening, bringing
with her little Miss Florence Street, who
is to spend several weeks with her
grandparents Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Phelps.
During her absence Miss Meyer has
spent some time in Washington with her
friend Mrs. La Toilette.
w. V. Mink, of Burton, gave us a call on
Tuesday. He has great faith in the
efficiency of the HERALD as an adver-
Using medium. The advertisement
made in our columns for exchange of
minerals, has brought him, he says, let
tiers from many different states and
specimens from ''way down in Maine "
Mr.. Mink leaves his home soon to settle
in Dubuque.
Mr.. Geo. w. Pike, of Bloomington,
an old resident of Grant county, came
into the HERALD Office on Wednesday
to renew his subscription for the HER
AID. Mr.. Pike says he has taken the
paper since he first came to the county
in 1S43, and can't get along without it.
A little calculation establishes the fact
that he has been subscriber to the
paper for forty-four years.
The families of Mr.. John Wissbaum,
Mr.. Yemen Wissbaum and Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles Schafer, together with
Miss Veroneka Wissbaum, accompanied
Mr.. Nicholas Wissbaum's family to
Sherman, Kansas. The whole party
set out for their new home on Tuesday
last. They desire in this way to say
goodbye to all old friends, though they
still expect to hear from them twice
week through friendly agency of the
HERALD.
The HERALD received the other day a
letter from Miss Blanche Ould, and a
subscription for the paper. Miss Ould
is now at Springfield, Mo. in the employ
of the General Superintendent of the
San Francisco Railroad Co., as steno-
grapher. She says that her position is
in every way much more desirable than
the one she occupied here as telegraph
operator, and adds that she is losing
track of her Lancaster friends and con-
siders the HERALD the proper medium
through which to renew her acquain-
lance again.
The Milwaukee Sentinel has the follow
ing words of praise for Grant Co. Soldiers:
